It includes that part of the coast of Canaan, on the borders of the Mediterranean, in which the cities of Tyre and Sidon were situated; and the same country, which is called Syro-Phoenicia in the Acts, is in the Gospels called the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. The woman also described as Syro-Phoenician in , is in called a Canaanitish woman, because that country was still occupied by the descendants of Canaan, of whom Sidon was the eldest son.
